Overview
EN 13330:2013 - “Shutters - Hard body impact and prevention of access - Test methods” (CEN) specifies standardized test methods to evaluate the mechanical resistance of shutters to a conventional hard‑body impact and to assess their ability to prevent unauthorised access. The standard applies to a wide range of shutter types, including roller shutters, external venetian blinds, venetian shutters, concertina and flat closing concertina shutters, wing shutters and sliding panel shutters.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Hard‑body impact test (D 0,5)
- Uses a steel spherical impactor suspended as a pendulum (designated D 0,5). The pendulum impacts the shutter at defined points and drop height Z (Z is referenced to EN 13659).
- Test rig mounts the shutter vertically with manufacturer’s installation details respected. Tests carried out at (23 ± 5) °C unless otherwise specified.
- Indentations are measured after 2 minutes with 0.5 mm accuracy; cracks or perforations are recorded. Points of impact and tolerances (e.g. distances from guide rails or edges) are defined to ensure repeatability.
- Prevention of access tests
- Retraction/lifting resistance of the bottom rail: a specified hook construction and force application point are used to simulate attempts to retract the curtain.
- Guide‑rail splaying test: insertion of a screwdriver (tip A 2 mm × 12 mm per ISO 2380‑1) and application of force at a defined lever length to check guide rail resistance.
- Perforation test: a screwdriver mounted on an axle delivers a defined energy (E = m·g·h) to assess lath or panel penetration. Positioning rules (e.g. 50 mm from guide rails) reduce elastic effects.
- Bottom lath and installation fixation tests evaluate static horizontal forces and the effect of manufacturer‑recommended installation methods.
- Reporting
- Test reports must identify product details, faces tested, impact locations, damage descriptions, indentation sizes, functional checks post‑test, laboratory and test dates, and reference to EN 13330:2013.
Applications and users
EN 13330:2013 is used for:
- Product development and durability validation by manufacturers of shutters and blinds.
- Type testing and certification by independent test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies.
- Specification and procurement by architects, façade engineers, building owners and specifiers who require documented resistance to impact or forced entry.
- Regulatory compliance where performance classes from EN 13659 are referenced in procurement or safety requirements.
